Review of Rocco and His Brothers (1960) by Michael H — 15 Jan 2012
Luchino Visconti's neorealistic film Rocco and His Brothers is a good film in sense that it shows a realistic view of the environment that southern Italians lived in the industrial north. The Parondi family, which is their mother and four of her sons who moves to Milan in north to be near the eldest son.
every one of the five brothers have their own chapter, but it's really about the two brothers Rocco and Vincenzo who both at one point has a career as a boxer, but it's only Rocco who seems to have a real shot at it.
He also fall in love with the same girl, the prostitute Nadia. Alain Delon is just fabulous in this film, as the young and loyal brother who loves his family so much. A big thumbs up.
